About
Cindy L. Amundsen is a leading figure in urogynecology and female pelvic medicine, whose research has fundamentally advanced the treatment of pelvic floor disorders. Her key contributions center on refractory overactive bladder (OAB) and the comparative effectiveness of sacral neuromodulation versus onabotulinumtoxinA, a landmark comparison that has directly shaped clinical guidelines for patients who fail conservative therapy. Amundsen’s work also explores complex surgical challenges, including the management of mesh erosion and the use of robotic platforms for pelvic reconstructive surgery. Her highly cited studies, such as the pivotal trial comparing sacral neuromodulation and Botox for OAB, have garnered significant attention, influencing practice patterns worldwide. Beyond her research impact, she is recognized for her expertise in minimally invasive techniques, particularly the DaVinci robotic approach for accessing the space of Retzius, which has improved surgical precision and outcomes. With a career dedicated to rigorous clinical trials and innovative surgical solutions, Amundsen remains a vital voice in advancing care for women with pelvic floor dysfunction.
